[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 112832, member: 3907"] Technically, it doesn't really matter what time of day you eat. It is calories in vs calories out. However, if you eat late in the day, then you have far fewer calorie-burning hours ahead of you. And, whatever excess fuel that you take in and don't use up will get converted to fat and stored. WFEN, I struggle with cravings too, but I have tried to pinpoint exactly what it is I'm craving, and I have found that helps a lot too. For example, when I'm craving chips, it seems that I need salt and fat, so I have a cup of chicken broth, which has both. If it's the texture I'm craving (because of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), there is a huge sensory component to food for me...often I'm craving the texture of something rather than the taste), I try to substitute something that has a similar feel in the mouth. So...if I need something dry and crunchy, then I cut pita bread into triangles and put it in the toaster oven, to mimic the feel of potato chips. [/QUOTE]
